At love’s mercy she cries softly Dreaming of another’s body In the darkness, the cold silence Of the doubt that binds her firmly Is it so wrong? – she asks as fear Keeps her vision blurred, so unclear; The demon’s voice inside her mind Is taunting all that she holds dear And trappedContinue reading “Forbidden”

Moonlight spirit
Her hair was dark like a mystery Endless as the ocean at night And tinged like the silver wave tops Sparkling fiercely in the moonlight She came to me from lands afar Riding the currents of the wind She took my hands and squeezed them tight Erasing the shame of my sins Her eyes wereContinue reading “Moonlight spirit”
Broken
Dear Love, why does it hurt so much When all the pieces fall apart An aching wound, a bleeding hole; Though I once yearned to be alone Sweet love how did it all go wrong When was it that our paths diverged? What took us travelling on this course; Or were we doomed right fromContinue reading “Broken”
Serenity
Take me far from civilisation Where, in the mellowing twilight haze, The sea meets the sky, a whispered touch Like the luring kiss of temptation; And to infinity your eyes gaze Singing to serenity’s calling There’s no need for a destination When you’re content, to wander life’s maze Caught in the beauty of the moment
Connection
Sometimes it’s not what’s said or done Not words, but silences between Where an echoing stillness guides You to a place of quiet peace; There a secret space awaits, and Only now you dare to open Up to trust, whilst comforting eyes Teach a different kind of lesson Painting by Antoni Caba
Betrayal
I let you in, for I told you A secret that’s close to my heart You passed it on, without a thought Now a careless rumour is sprung I gave a piece, a part of me That I hadn’t dared share before And you turned your back, callously What a ripe mess now hasContinue reading “Betrayal”

Let your mind be the lover, that Catches your body when you fall Holding you tight, giving you strength; Courage to keep fighting your fight Let your mind bring you the passion That will invigorate your heart Burning blaze, rising from a spark To shine a light through despair’s haze Let your mindContinue reading “Let your mind be…”
At the end of the day…
You surround yourself With noise and clutter Distractions and people And tasks to be done Filling the day, you While away the time As you avoid the truth, Keeping up the facade But at the end of the day When the night falls There’s no one but you, Nothing but your mind Continue reading “At the end of the day…”
Blackout
It comes, sometimes so sudden Like fog in the mountains, Descending into every rise And fall of the slopes and valleys; Erasing all sense of up and down, as The whole world turns a numbing white Only it’s black, black and hot As a burning sensation rushes to your head And sparks of concentratedContinue reading “Blackout”
Honesty
Why was it that when you were here, The words would not flow from my lips? I could not open up my heart And clenched within, my sonnets stayed Held like prisoners in a mind that Stumbles over forbidden dreams Yet now, whilst far away you are Words burst forth like a stream inContinue reading “Honesty”
